Seeing that Village Chief Li was not polite, the other village heads also sat down.

After dinner, Li Mengyue led people up the mountain.

In addition to the fifty people from Xinghua Village, there were also three hundred people from six villages who followed them up the mountain this time.

More than 300 people, some carrying bamboo tubes, some carrying sickles, some carrying machetes and other tools, went up the mountain in a mighty procession.

Since they had confirmed that they had passed the water source, they saved the time of searching. In addition, with the help of the animal repellent powder that Li Mengyue took out, they didn't encounter any prey along the way.

It finally took nearly three hours to reach the special pit in the fairyland.

The people of Xinghua Village, who have already seen how beautiful the special pit is, will still be shocked when they see the fairyland-like scenery again.

Everyone who saw it for the first time exclaimed in surprise.

"what!"

"Wow!"

"Fuck! It's so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, this can't be true."

……

Seeing that everyone looked shocked, the people in Xinghua Village did not laugh at them. Instead, they thought that this was normal.

"Clap clap clap!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the beautiful scenery, Li Mengyue clapped her hands to get everyone back to their senses.

"Okay, the water source is here, everyone hurry up and set up the bamboo pipes."

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and get the bamboo pipes. The crops in the fields are waiting to be watered."

More than 300 people started working at once, but after a while, various problems arose.

"Li Erniu, this is not the way to do it. You are wrong."

"I didn't do it right."

"Hey, don't mess with me."

"I don't know what to do either!"

……

Li Mengyue heard the voices in the crowd and saw some people standing there watching and thinking that someone was doing something wrong. Then she realized that she seemed to have overlooked something.

"Stop!"

Those who were working hard or just watching turned their eyes to Li Mengyue.

"Each village should select a team leader first. They should report to me later. I will assign tasks and tell everyone what to do."

After Li Mengyue said this, everyone instantly understood the intention, and no one thought it was unnecessary.

After all, they heard from the village chief that they would have to dig canals and build large reservoirs in the future, but this would be impossible without rules or no one to lead the way.

It would be a mess, and they wouldn't know what to do.

Soon each village selected a person who could convince the public as required.

The person in charge of Xinghua Village is Li De, the person in charge of Lianhua Village is Ma Changfu, the person in charge of Taohua Village is Wang Lin, the person in charge of Shitou Village is Ji Gang, the person in charge of Guihua Village is Sun Tu, the person in charge of Meihua Village is Zheng Zhen, and the person in charge of Zhoujia Village is Zhou Shang.

Li Mengyue looked at the seven people standing in front of her and said slowly, "Each village will be responsible for a section of the road. You will be assigned to each of you. Who will dig the pit and who will clear the weeds? Make sure that the bamboo pipes are installed before dark and test the water diversion."

"Okay, niece, don't worry, our village will definitely not lag behind." After Li De said this, he looked at Ma Changfu of Lianhua Village provocatively.

Ma Changfu and Li De have known each other since childhood. They always compete with each other in everything they do. They have won and lost, and this time is no exception.

Seeing Li De's expression, Ma Changfu spoke up immediately as he still had something unclear.

"Our village must be the first to finish, why don't we have a competition?"

"Let's compete and see who is afraid of whom." Wang Lin from Taohua Village said impatiently.

"Count our Stone Village in it."

“Osmanthus Village, too.”

……

Then Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village also expressed their desire to participate in the competition.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Li Mengyue suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"Clap clap clap!"

When everyone heard Li Mengyue clapping, the three hundred people suddenly fell silent.

"Since everyone wants to compete, how can we do it without a prize? Now I declare that the village that finishes first can come to me and receive ten kilograms of food."

"what!"

"is this real?"

"Ten pounds, did I hear it right?"

"Ten kilograms per person, and each village has fifty people. Doesn't that mean Li Mengyue will have to take out fifty kilograms of food?"

Everyone's face suddenly lit up with smiles. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a good thing just by going up the mountain to play with bamboo pipes.

Although only the winning village can get food, they believe that the victory will definitely belong to their village.

However, some people were happy, while others were worried about Li Mengyue, wondering if taking out so much food at once would affect the family.

What's more, every household is short of food now. Who would let their daughter take out 50 kilograms of food as a prize for a competition?

"Niece, let's stop competing. Making bamboo tubes is what we should do. How can we ask you to take out the food?" Li De said to Li Mengyue.

The person standing next to him immediately came to his senses when he heard what Li De said.

Yes, how could they be so confused? It was enough that Li Mengyue told them how to use bamboo pipes to divert water. How could they be greedy and take other people's food?

"Yes, Miss Li, we were just joking, don't take it seriously. We didn't hear anything about the food."

"That's right. Not every village uses the water brought down from the mountain. What's the point of playing a competition?"

"Yeah, it's all just a joke, let's get to work."

"Okay, okay, each village will get five miles of land first, and then we can divide the rest."

……

With that, everyone picked up their tools and started to take action.

"Uncle De, you don't have to save for me. We can still get a few dozen kilograms of food. It's settled. The village that finishes first will win ten kilograms of food for everyone."

When the people who were preparing to work heard this, they all cheered and started working quickly.

Just kidding, if we win we can get ten kilograms of food, which is enough for a family to eat for more than a month if they save it.

Li Mengyue saw that everyone was working enthusiastically and gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Just by paying a little bit of food, we can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and shorten the time. Why not do it?

It seems that rewards can also be used to clear rivers and build large reservoirs, so that everyone can work together.

What's more, fifty kilograms of food was nothing to her.

Not to mention the ones sent by the child's father, there were also tens of thousands of kilograms of them that she got from Master Liu's yard.

Although everyone was very careful when setting up the bamboo tubes, since no one had done this before, there would be some problems.

So Li Mengyue asked everyone to stop and demonstrated how to do it before letting everyone continue.

In this way, the speed was indeed increased a lot.

At this time, Li Mengyue was not idle either. She went to explore the address of the reservoir.

Since it has been decided to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build a reservoir, Li Mengyue will not act casually, but will carefully select the site.

However, the location selection is also very important. If it is too small, the water storage capacity will be insufficient and the water will not be able to play its due role.

After all, the purpose of building a reservoir is to prevent insufficient rainfall in July and August every year.

Once this problem occurs, the gates can be opened to release water to prevent the crops from being sun-dried or dying due to severe water shortage.
